Pros

Pros

I liked that it had the night vision, and that it had sound. The price was middle of the road .

ConsWhat's not good? Everything. I bought it on sale for forty bux. Regular price was around eighty . That is a mid level unit, or so I thought.I put a 32gig card in it and basically for got about it. I had no idea that it didn't record non stop. there really wasn't an owners manual, I think there was a map of the buttons and that ws it.Sadly I hit a deer after it jumped out of a ditch right beside the road. After the airbag stuff was out of the car, and I drove home, I checked the recording only to find it stopped seconds before I hit the deer and resumed after I had turned around to drive home.

SummarySo the one time I needed the thing to record...it didn't. What a piece of steaming deer poop. Not to mention the deer took off and probably died a short while later, so I didn't get the meat. Plus my insurance idiots wrote the car off due to $16000. damage to a $30000. car. The deer gods are laughin at me....and my poor G37 Sport.

Pros

Pros

This is actually a 1 star item. I like that the cord is long, I use it in several vehicles a day. Looks good. Actually did catch a punk using the motion detection at night, but right at the hood of my truck. Plate number of the punks vehicle could not be read.

ConsEverything except above. Cord came apart at the cig. lighter end. Plug it self is temperamental, works most of the time, sometimes have to twist it in the plug to get it working. Video is crap, night or day. Daytime can't even read the plate numbers unless the car is directly in front of you at 20' or less. Nighttime, Forget it. Anything further than 15 - 20 foot is barely recognizable. Is it a man or a woman I'm seeing here. Is it a Subaru or an Audi(wait I'll get closer). I tried on VGA and the H.D. level. Window mount altho a good attachment at the window(Suction Cup) would require constant adjusting. Adjusting knobs flimsy.

SummaryIt's going back, you get what you pay for. But bought in the right place, you get your money back, even 10 months later. No the 6 or 7 times I went to review an incident I was VERY disappointed in the quality. Honestly could not tell if it was a woman pulling a U-turn in front of me via the video. Nor could I get even the phone number or unit number off the side of a taxi that ran the stop sign.

Pros

-can preview videos on built-in screen-long power cable

Cons-Falsely advertised as HD, only 640x480-bulky-narrow lense

SummaryDuring day in perfect sunlight this camera won't be able to pick up the license plate of the car 10 ft in front of you. If you're concerned about having video evidence pay the extra cash and get something that's not junk.

Pros

- easy to install- good length for power cable so you can manage it through the car seams- good quality VGA- automatically turns on/off when engine starts/ends- IR works pretty well

Cons- slow reading/playing the SD card off the device

SummaryI knew when I bought this the native resolution was VGA and anything higher is software enhanced. I only planned on using VGA anyway and it works. Playback is smooth once you upload the files into your computer. I wouldn't recommend playing back the files directly off the device as the reader is slow and playback isn't as smooth. Quality is quite good and the IR night capabilty is pretty good, although only within a certain short distance. Still, pretty good. I found installation to be easy. Didn't need to read instructions and the menu was easy to navigate through. The length of the power cord also gave you the ease of managing the cable inside the seams of the car. Overall, good for the price.

Pros

Accepts SD CardsUses any inexpensive Nokia cell battery that will fit with the device

ConsDoesn't do true 720pReal recording resolution's about 640x480Motion detection DSP doesn't accurately discern motion and no motion during night time

SummaryThis dashcam is a good basic camera for recording the typical commute. Not sure if the footage captured by this camera can be legally admissible to the insurance adjusters, but it's better than nothing.

Sadly this camera doesn't do true 720p as advertised. It only fits the entire footage inside a 720p file, but still better than having no camera recording anything. One other gripe I have with this camera is that the motion "detector" isn't all that great.

Pros

SummaryPretty easy to install physically and the power cable is plenty long. The menu and setup is somewhat confusing at first, but it's not terrible.

The biggest disappointment and even misrepresentation in advertising is the camera resolution. It is ONLY 640x480, or VGA. All other resolutions are interpolated, or basically fake. Even the factory setting it comes with, which is "D1" or 720x480 needs to be interpolated.

If you are looking for a dashcam, the other model NCIX carries, the P9000 is a much better deal. That one does 1280x960/SXGA natively and that means you get actual 720p footage.

This vehicle camcorder/camera records road and traffic conditions while you drive. It’s priceless if you have an accident. A great way to protect your family on the road and capture the memories in HD while you drive!

Each year driving gets more difficult and dangerous thanks to bad weather, road rage, texting drivers, increased traffic and more. Now you can record what’s going on and have visual and audio evidence that you can provide to your insurance company and law enforcement agencies.

Or you can just capture points of interest or take digital still photos.
